When Albion Fitcontacted me about doing a review and giveaway......I was stoked.

What I also love about Albion Fitis the versatility of each piece in their line that easily goes beyond the daily workout. Their pieces are not just something you can wear to a gym, but they are also items that you can wear for day-today-wear. AKA Costco. Huge win.

Their line offers a broad selection of pieces. In fact, I had a hard time deciding what pieces I wanted to try! However, these two items are what I chose:

~ Go long legging in COBALT

In love with this color.

AND........

~ Signature hoodie in heather grey

I'm a sucker for thumb holes. Love them.

The best part today is that they are giving away a $100 shopping spree to inspire you to get moving and to get your exercise on!

If you’re like me, your body loves exercise, needs it, and craves it...... and new workout clothes always help inspire a better workout. Right? .......Or at least an exciting visit to Costco. We need to nail those shopping trips too. ;)

My friends at Albion Fitwant to offer a$100gift card to one lucky RunEmz reader! Also use code:runemz15 for 15% off any Albionfit.com purchase now thru Sunday, January 5th!

It's been way too long since I last checked in. It's been a pretty awesome couple of months.So grateful.I know the holiday's are in full swing and we are all bouncing around from one place to the next........I just wanted to share a link with you all.I had the absolute privilege to meet Susie a few months ago.

[Longrunergy] This lady is truly an inspiration. A clear example of using running to do good in the world.In February she will be taking part in an incredible journey. [biggest understatement ever]PLEASE take a moment to read about it [here].If you can donate - that would rock.If you can spread the word through twitter, blog, Facebook - that is equally awesome.I love seeing runners doing amazing things with their talents.You are incredible Susie!

It is a race I've wanted to do for the past three years. It typically falls on my/our anniversary. And I really can't blame the Pita for NOT wanting to spend our day watching his crazy wife run in loops for 24 hours.

HOWEVER...........this year it is 3 days after our anniversary and he surprised me with the best anniversary present ever.

The Javelina Jundred is comprised of six and a half loops on the rolling single track and jeep track of the 15.4 mile Pemberton Trail. The race begins in the clockwise direction and alternates each loop (washing machine style).

And we all really know WHY I signed up don't we?

Ya, I might be slightly obsessed with belt buckles. And this one......

the. freaking. best.

I will crawl, if I must, to get this buckle.

I plan to fuel mostly the same way I did in San Francisco. Mad amounts of Vega hydrator, Vega Energizer, bagels & #ALLTHEFREAKINGPICKLEJUICE I can get my hands on.

It is going to be a HOT one.

HIGH: 89* / Low 60* ---- not ideal but not horrible.

The hydration is going to be critical.

Good thing - I was just sent 500. Yes. FIVE + ZERO + ZERO shaker cups from GNC. Because if you express a GREAT dislike of shaker bottles ........ they'll send you 500. I kid. I kid.

It goes without saying but I AM A HUGE fan of GNC. Always have been. I'm pretty sure the Athletarian & I hit up no less than 5 GNC's in the 5 days she was in Arizona.

I'll be selling them and donating ALL the funds [less actual shipping fees] to Effect International. The same charity I ran to raise funding for last month in San Francisco. Stay tuned for more info......

Mr. Combs. He will be pacing me for the last 40-ish miles of this run. My partner in VEGA crime. He was one of the people who inspired me to go "plant based". Haven't looked back since. He is an amazing runner & I am truly blessed to have him pace me.

What an adventure this will be.

The training has been intense.
The excitement is killing me.
[super grateful, it's not the other way around]

This is what the training has looked like the last 31 days:

[dailymile]

I did my longest run 31 days ago:

[instagram @runemz ]﻿

Nothing like 8 hours on a treadmill to start your day off right. The first 6 hours I ran and text a few friends. My friends are amazing. Truly. I received no less than 100 texts while I ran [and two hilarious videos]. Grateful.

Then I watched the first hour of the Today Show.
The final hour I tried to pick up the pace a little so I would manage to get a final reading that included a "something" .44.

YES, it is all about the 4's.

My body has felt great throughout this process. I have never run this many miles in consecutive weeks before.
